This project reviews the overlap between the childhood experiences of Japanese writer Kyoko Hayashi in wartime Shanghai and my own memories of growing up in the same area. Tracing the history of Shanghai's 'Japanese society,' this project uses video and object installation to explore the contradictory and complex relationship between Shanghainese and Japanese, individual and war.
